How much is it for a penny? How much is the money worth? What is he like - the modern Ivanushka the Fool? What are his trials and difficulties? How can you believe in God if everything is bad? The fairy tale tells the story of a boy who gradually becomes an adult. His entire path is a path of pampering and whim, a path of spoiling, leading the protagonist to think: “But how to make money. Is it difficult?.. Is it good or bad when a child is given everything, everything except upbringing?” The writer, playwright, storyteller and poet, who grew up and was brought up in Cossack traditions, makes an attempt to explain the questions posed in simple words, accessible to both children and adults. A fairy tale for children and youth is intended for reading together with parents or independently. Thank you to everyone who took a look. Author.
